Waffle architecture has nothing on the new stuff.I'll take the old stuff over the new any day. All that coated sheet metal and painted steel is going to be a maintenance headache. Leaks in the sheet metal station canopies is one of the reasons why the Silver line opening was delayed. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |

Chacun à son goût (which, as every student of Chicago high school French knows, means "everyone has the gout.") I sort of like the dignity of the original stations. The coffered barrel-vault ceilings were, I imagine, intended to evoke classical Roman architecture, complementing so many public buildings in Washington.Alan Follett Hercules, CA |

Much appreciated, especially since I have no prospect of riding the Silver Line in person in the near future. I almost, but not quite, feel that I'd be justified in adding it as a red line in my railroad atlas. Well, maybe pink.Alan Follett Hercules, CA |
